In fact, nasal snuff was given to Catherine Di Medici by Nicot as a cure for her crippling Migraines and once the King had heard, he changed his decree about it’s use.

Without doing any further research, I'm guessing this may be the roots of the words Nicotine and Medicine.

Man, I can't believe I never heard of this before. That's amazing.

Glad you enjoyed it ! You just inspired me to put up a post about famous snuff takers. Stay posted.
